5 lb Ethiopia Ethiopian Lekempti Unroasted Green Coffee Beans

Classic Ethiopian natural-process green coffee, known for its mocha depth, dark fruit sweetness, and smooth, balanced body. A favorite for roasters who love bold aromatics without sharp acidity.

• Flavor: Mocha • Blueberry • Blackberry • Chocolate • Caramel

• Aroma: Blossom

• Body: Balanced

• Acidity: Mild

Produces a rich, fruit-forward cup with chocolate undertones and dark berry notes. Compared to brighter washed Ethiopians, Lekempti offers a smoother, rounder profile with gentle acidity and satisfying depth.

Lekempti coffee is grown in the Wollega and Ghimbi regions, delivering a cup profile similar to Harrar longberry coffees—low to mild acidity, balanced body, and distinctive dark fruit character.

• Region: Wollega / Ghimbi

• Altitude: 1,750–1,800 meters (masl)

The elevation and climate allow for slow cherry maturation, enhancing sweetness and complexity.

• Coffee cherries are dried with the fruit intact

• No washing prior to drying

• Allows sugars from the fruit to infuse into the bean

Natural processing is responsible for the coffee’s mocha richness, berry sweetness, and heavier mouthfeel, making it ideal for medium to dark roast profiles.

Ethiopian Grade 4 coffees are known for:

• Traditional natural processing

• Bold, rustic flavor profiles

• Excellent value for expressive, fruit-driven roasts

Perfect for roasters seeking classic Ethiopian character rather than ultra-clean washed profiles.

Ethiopia is the original home of Coffea Arabica, where coffee has grown wild for thousands of years in the southwestern highlands. From the legendary story of Kaldi the goat herder to today’s vibrant coffee culture, Ethiopia remains the heart of the coffee world.

Coffee is known locally by many names—Bunna, Bun, Buna, Bono, Kawa—all reflecting its deep cultural roots and global influence.

• Green (un-roasted) coffee beans – roasting required

• Flavor notes vary by roast level and brewing method

• Ideal for home roasters & specialty micro-roasters
